GReeeeN (also known as The Green) is a four member Japanese group from Koriyama city in the Fukushima prefecture. They made their debut with Universal Music[Nayutawave Records] in 2007. Their logo image is of a mouthful of teeth, and the four e's indicate the number of members. The sound production is handled by Hide's older brother JIN, a member of Pay Money To My Pain.

One notable characteristic is that none of the members have ever shown their faces in the public sphere as a part of GReeeeN, whether in their promotional videos, CDs, television performances, or the Internet. In their only performance on TV-U Fukushima's music show Music Bar Palo Palo (broadcast on January 19, 2007), the group even went as far as censoring their faces during the performance. GReeeeN cites keeping their professional lives in dentistry compatible with their musical ventures as the reason, but one of the members, Hide, has hinted that after all of the members pass the prefectural examination in dentistry and receive permission from the directors of the hospitals they work for, the group may consider a public appearance.

All members studied at the dentistry department at Ohu University, in Fukushima prefecture, (Hide, Navi, and 92 have all graduated, only Soh is still in school), and the group debuted while still in school in 2007.
